The Bangladesh team reached Pune earlier today on a chartered flight. 

Shakib Al Hasan's side will take on hosts India in their fourth ICC World Cup fixture on October 19 at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune.

The Tigers will be sweating on Shakib's scan reports which are reportedly due today.

Bangladesh succumbed to their second consecutive defeat in the World Cup when they received an eight-wicket thumping at the hands of New Zealand in Chennai on Friday.

Shakib, who had to leave the ground after hurting his left quad before the Tigers' game against New Zealand ended, was taken for a scan after the match yesterday. 

The ace all-rounder suffered from cramps while he was batting in the first innings of the match which prompted him to throw his wicket away as he tried to hit his way out of trouble.
